Beautiful Elbow Lake is still in the morning calm.

Kevin confidently marches towards Tombstone South (R). We should have stayed on the trail a bit longer.

Views down to the Elbow River off the south ridge.

The scrambling finally gets interesting as we gain the ridge proper.

There is still lots of scree but also plenty of exposure up ahead to keep us occupied.

Mount Rae (L) and the Elbow River.

Yep. There's some exposure!

Views up along the south ridge.

Kevin still seems to be having fun!

Views back down the south ridge.

We stayed right on the ridge the whole time. This resulted in a more difficult than moderate scramble, in my opinion. Slippage was not optional.
